St Christopher's Church is a location a short distance from Milton in the Mountain Town region. The church is a possible spawn location for the region and the Graveyard is located across the street.
Overview[]
According to a note found in the church, the pastor was Father Francis McGill. He was withdrawn by the Archdiocese due to a lack of activity; however, church services and Latin lessons continued over Skype. A Hymnal can be found in the church with the lyrics to the hymn Dies Irae ("Day of Wrath") in both Latin and English.
The church appears to have served as a shelter to someone recently, as there are a few supplies, a makeshift bed, and the remnants of a Campfire on the floor (allowing the player to light a fire indoors), be careful NOT to deconstruct it as you can not replace the campfire.
Although the church can serve as a base with its bed, nearby rabbit grove, and indoor fireplace, the roof has several holes in it, so it isn't a particularly cozy location to live in. Storage is also limited, and wolves may be a minor hazard when coming and going. Milton House (Grey Mother's) just down the road is generally a better base location, with its six-burner stove and abundant storage containers.
